Product details and timing were not released. The "significant" investment will strengthen GM's lead in SUVs and "also highlights the company's commitment to continue providing customers with a strong portfolio of ICE vehicles for years to come," GM said. Shares of GM dropped 0.8% in late trading Thursday, underperforming vs. the S&P 500 index for the day. GM stock has gained nearly 7% so far this year, compared with an advance of around 12% for the index.
